Top San Jose Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Place San Jose/Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"It was very clean and smelled very clean. I enjoyed being so close to down town. I felt very safe and the private parking was very reassuring that my car would be safe from theft. I would like for the parking fee to be lowered and for a pool to be added somewhere in the premises to make it perfect. I really loved the buffet styled breakfast."
